STAFF REPORT
RE: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Amending City Manager’s Powers and Duties to Include Contract Signing and Design Approval Authority
MEETING DATE: 2/20/2024
SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a second reading and adoption of an Ordinance amending the City Manager’s powers and duties to include design approval authority for public improvement projects and the power to sign written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the city when expressly authorized.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

This ordinance was introduced on February 6, 2024 and included a public hearing. A second reading of the ordinances is required by the Government Code. Once approved, the ordinance shall be published and go into effect in 30 days.

When projects are authorized to be advertised or bids are awarded by the City Council, language is typically included in the City Council action to approve plans and specifications. There are situations where the City Council does not approve plans and specifications, such as small projects, or there are change orders during construction. These situations would benefit from the ability of the City to respond quickly, without having to bring the matter before the City Council at a noticed public hearing.

Government Code Section 830.6 provides public agencies with a design immunity defense for any public works projects designed and constructed by the public agency, provided that the design was approved in advance of the construction by the agency’s legislative body or by an employee authorized by the legislative body to give such design approval. If the City Council desires to authorize the City Manager or his or her designee to exercise design approval authority, staff recommends that to ensure the City retains the design immunity protection afforded by state law, the City Council codify the delegation to the City Manager or his or her designee in the City’s Municipal Code.

It is important to note that the proposed Ordinance does not in any way impact or change the City Council’s discretionary authority to approve projects and appropriate project funding pursuant to other applicable City policies and procedures. The Ordinance also does not circumvent other established project design review and approval processes.

Separately, Government Code Section 40602 provides that the City Council may authorize the City Manager to sign all written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the City just as they may be signed by the Meeting Date: 02/20/2024 Page 2 Agenda Item #IV.D.
338684.2
Mayor. Currently, the Municipal Code limits the City Manager signing authority to professional services agreements, unless specifically delegated signing authority by City Council motion or resolution. Staff recommends that the City Council codify this City Manager authorization so that either the City Manager or Mayor may sign approved written contracts and conveyances once the contract is approved by the Council. This authorization will protect the validity of executed contracts and conveyances in the event that the City Council neglects to specify the City Manager can sign, in a particular case.

This proposed amendment does not in any way impact or change the City Council’s discretionary authority to approve written contracts or conveyances, or circumvent other established contract review and approval processes.

OPTIONS:

FISCAL IMPACT:
☒ None Budgeted Item? ☐Yes ☐ No
Budget Adjustment Needed? ☐Yes ☐ No If yes, amount of appropriation increase:

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 830.6 provides that neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable for an injury caused by the plan or design of a construction of, or an improvement to, public property where such plan or design has been approved in advance of the construction or improvement by the legislative body of a public entity or by some other body or employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval or where such plan or design is prepared in conformity with standards previously so approved;
WHEREAS, public interest and convenience and the retention of the design immunity protection under Government Code Section 830.6 require the City Council of the City of Lakeport to delegate by ordinance to the City Manager or to his or her designee the authority to approve plans and designs for City public improvement projects;
WHEREAS, such delegation of design approval authority does not change the City Council’s discretion and authority to approve projects and appropriate project funding pursuant to other applicable City policies, procedures and codes, or circumvent other established project design review and approval processes;
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 40602 provides that the City Council may authorize the City Manager to sign all written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the City as may be signed by the Mayor;
WHEREAS, public interest and convenience support authorization of the City Manager to sign written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the City when authorized by appropriate resolution or motion of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, such delegation of signatory authority does not change the City Council’s discretion and authority to approve written contracts and conveyances pursuant to applicable City policies, procedures and codes, or circumvent other established contract review and approval processes.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Periodic Review of Traffic Safety Related Complaints MEETING DATE: 02/20/2024 SUBMITTED BY: Kevin M. Ingram, City Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☐ Discussion ☐Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to discuss and review observed trends in received traffic safety related complaints to the City of Lakeport.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

City staff began formally tracking and logging traffic safety related complaints in June 2015 and more recently began providing periodic reviews of traffic complaints to the City Council. The purpose of the periodic review is to monitor developing trends with the intention of identifying potential future agenda items or projects for Council consideration.

Summary of Traffic Safety Complaints (September 2023 to Present) The City Council's last review of traffic safety complaints occurred in September 2023. Since then, a limited number of complaints have been received, without indicating any significant trends or identifying specific problem areas when compared to accident data. Most complaints were promptly addressed by City staff and mainly related to sidewalk issues, missing bus stop striping, crosswalk re-striping, and damaged or missing signage. A few traffic enforcement concerns were forwarded to the police department, with officers briefed to increase enforcement efforts.

One notable traffic safety issue during this period involved three separate complaints from the same individual regarding vehicles traveling in the wrong direction along a one-block section of High Street designated for oneway travel between Eleventh Street and Clear Lake Avenue. The complainant provided detailed documentation of numerous instances of wrong-way travel. City staff responded by relocating the 'Do Not Enter' signage to a more conspicuous location and even deployed a game camera at the site to monitor occurrences. While the video data yielded limited quantitative insights, it did capture at least one instance of wrong-way driving, seemingly by a resident or visitor to a nearby home. The issue primarily appears to stem from drivers seeking a shortcut to Eleventh Street rather than insufficient signage for one-way travel. Proposed mitigation measures recommended by the complainant, such as retractable spike strips or closure of block to through traffic, were deemed impractical by City staff. No verified accident data exists for this road section.

As the staffing levels of the Police Department improve, greater emphasis will be placed on traffic enforcement.

This includes radar certification for speeding violations and enhanced monitoring of intersections prone to moving violations, such as those near schools, the Forbes and Eleventh Streets intersection, and the North Meeting Date: 02/20/2024 Page 2 Agenda Item #VI.A.1.

Main/Clear Lake/North High Corridor, including the aforementioned one-way section of High Street.

Additionally, Lakeport PD is in the process of applying for grant to secure funding for the purchase of a mobile speed trailer/message board, which can be deployed to areas of speeding and related complaints and further support traffic safety enforcement efforts.

Upcoming Traffic Safety Projects:
• Enhanced crosswalk improvements at Eleventh and High Street through the installation of a pedestrian activated lighted crossing at this location.
• HSIP grant for the replacement and upgrade of street signage citywide. • New pavement markings associated with the recently completed North Main Street paving project, including bike lane designation (will not include re-application of center line stripping per request of the neighborhood)
• Pedestrian improvements associated with the upcoming South Main Street paving project (between Lakeport Boulevard and First Street)
o Construction of sidewalk in areas of the corridor where none exist. o ADA curb cut improvements to several locations along the corridor o Installation of two (2) pedestrian activated lighted crossings along the corridor • Enhanced crosswalk improvements at the intersection of Lakeport Boulevard and Larrecou Lane associated with the new Lakeport Courthouse construction project to begin this upcoming summer. • ADA curb cut and sidewalk improvements associated with the upcoming Green/Sayre/Loch pavement rehabilitation project.

City staff will continue to review received traffic safety related complaints on a quarterly basis to ensure minor issues are addressed timely and identify concerning trends early.

OPTIONS:
1) Receive and file report.
2) Provide additional staff direction.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Receive an Update on Communications Team Activity MEETING DATE: 02-20-2024 SUBMITTED BY: Kelly Buendia, Administrative Services Director PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is asked to receive an update on Communications Team activity for the calendar year 2023.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2023 the Communications Team, made up of members from key departments, met monthly to review prior month’s communications and establish a calendar of upcoming items to share with the public. Each item was assessed on which media platform will be used, such as Facebook Accounts, Twitter, Instagram, Next Door, Nixle, press release to news outlets and/or publication in the Chamber newsletter, with the City website remaining a primary information hub. Improvements to the website are ongoing, with a separate task group meeting periodically to address website updating or enhancements.

In addition to scheduled communications, unscheduled items are addressed as received, particularly items related to public safety. The team actively finds and shares information from other entities that are of value to Lakeport residents and businesses.

The communications plan, adopted by the City Council, calls for periodic review of available analytics to verify the effectiveness of various outlets. Attached to this report is a listing of communications items released in 2023. This is not a comprehensive list as city administrators of social media regularly share posts from city partners that are not included in this listing. Analytics from City Facebook pages are also attached for Council review.

It is worthy of noting that the City’s primary Facebook page reach in 2023 was more than four times the total reach from 2022.

OPTIONS:

1. Receive and file the Communications Strategic Plan.

2. Do not receive and file the Communications Strategic Plan

3. Provide direction.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Forbes Creek Headwall and Hartley Street Culvert ER Projects MEETING DATE: 02/20/2024 SUBMITTED BY: Ron Ladd, Public Works Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☒Information only ☐ Discussion ☐Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Council is being asked to receive a report and update on the status of the two ER projects BACKGROUND: Following severe flooding in 2019, the City of Lakeport began the process of securing federal funding to address damage to the Forbes Creek Headwall and the Hartley Street Culvert. Despite challenges in procuring suitable consultant services initially, Dokken Engineering was ultimately selected due to its extensive experience and federal compliance record. On January 18, 2022, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement $97,737.49 with Dokken Engineering for the Hartley Street Culvert. Subsequently there have been 2 contract amendments with a third pending. Amendment 1 in June 2022 for additional environmental services ($20,002.30), Amendment 2 in January 2023 for CAD support ($10,344.41), and Amendment 3 pending in December 2023 for right-of-way acquisition support ($21,635.74 pending Caltrans approval).

On January 18, 2022, City Council also approved a Professional Services Agreement $98,801.87 with Dokken Engineering for the Forbes Creek Headwall.

DISCUSSION:

Since the onset of these projects, the City has been actively engaged in securing federal funding to facilitate the necessary repairs. Despite initial challenges in procuring suitable consultant services.

Our staff has been working diligently with Caltrans and Dokken Engineering to oversee the progress of these projects. This has involved navigating through various challenges and complexities, including but not limited to, the need for contract amendments to ensure compliance with federal regulations.

The nature of federal funding is dynamic, and we anticipate there will be additional amendments to expand the scope of Dokken Engineering's services. As a result, our local match (of 11.47%) will correspondingly increase to accommodate these expanded scopes of work.

It is important to note that the projects have encountered delays primarily due to the extensive reporting requirements mandated by both State and Federal agencies.
